Abstract:
Most girls in Gopher Slough, Florida, worry about whether GSHS will win the next football game (they won't), when their boyfriends will take them muddin', and how many times they can sneak cigarettes behind the bleachers before they get thrown into in-school suspension. Libby Hoyer is not most girls. Instead, Libby is worried about her slipping grades, especially in Geometry, where she can barely keep her head up long enough to take the weekly quizzes. She's concerned about losing her friendship with her best (only) friend, Bobbi Jo, who's distracted with her own Aber-zombie boyfriend, and she's unsure of how to define her new relationship with Neil, a mysterious boy from her class who is not as carefree as he pretends to be. Libby is also troubled by the fact that she can't seem to remember her distant father, even though he only left five years ago. Everyone else, it seems, is worried about Libby's sporadic eating habits. If she continues to refuse to eat or to purge anything she's forced to eat, she might disappear. But Libby isn't afraid of disappearing. She's afraid of being seen.

Abstract:
My project started with two words: Swimming Pool. They came to me through a song, Banshee Beat by Animal Collective (2005). To me, their music is mystical, abstract, unpredictable and also metaphorical. So I started to think about if a swimming pool could be something more than just an open container filled with water. After some thinking I came to the conclusion that it could be a metaphor for something calm, quiet and dreamy. However, I’m not sure but my aim is not to get to a specific answer through this project.  I’ll turn the metaphor into a textile work that portrays what you see when you’re standing at the edge of the swimming pool; a distorted picture of a grid, the bottom of the pool. I’ll be working with dyeing, patchwork and quilting. The textile craft is important in this project because of how relaxed and calm I get by doing things with my hands.  The questions I’m asking myself are how I can express the metaphor through my work? What if my interpretation is too wide? Is it possible for me to create a tactile and calm feeling without the physical touch?

Abstract:
Children in upper primary school who have not made progress along the Swimming and Water Safety Continuum may be at a greater risk in an aquatic environment because they have not developed the swimming competency, endurance and skills needed for survival in threatening aquatic situations. Three groups representing different socio-economic and geographical areas were selected to explore the relationships between psycho-social factors and the development of swimming ability among year seven students. Two groups from lower socio-economic areas were chosen. The first group was directly on the coast with easy access to the beach, while the second group was inland in the foothills of Perth. As higher socio-economic areas in Perth are generally not far from the coast only one group from a higher socio-economic coastal area was chosen. The participants were 540 year seven students, 282 of whom were males and 258 of whom were females. The primary variable of interest was the current swimming stage of year seven participants, and the differences between genders and/or locality groups. The primary research questions investigated differences between locality groups and/or genders for; a) perceived athletic competence and global self-worth, b) perceived swimming competency, confidence in deep water and importance placed on learning to swim well. c) perceived social support for sport and swimming activities and d) attendance at Interm, Vacswim and other swimming programs and aquatic venue experience. Relationships between swimming stage and the above variables were analysed. The secondary research questions investigated the most frequent reasons given by the students for not attending or discontinuing participation inVacswim, and whether there were differences between locality groups or genders. Findings indicated that the lower socio-economic groups had a significantly lower swimming stage and lower perceived self-worth than the higher socioeconomic group. Students from the lower socio-economic inland area had the lowest mean swimming stage as well as lower perceived social support for sport and swimming than either of the other two groups in the study. The two lower socioeconomic groups also attended less swimming instruction and placed less emphasis on the importance of learning to swim well than the higher socio-economic group. Despite these findings, the lower socio-economic groups did not view themselves as any less able in terms of athletic and swimming competence. However, as the two lower socio-economic groups have not progressed along the Swimming and Water Safety Continuum to the 'desirable standards' of the RLSSA (1999), these groups could be viewed as at-risk in an aquatic environment. At the same time, there was evidence that attendance at Interm along with attendance at another swimming program enabled participants to reach the 'desirable standards' of the RLSSA (1999). Girls generally had a higher swimming stage than boys in the lower socio-economic areas, attended year seven Interm and Vacswim more than boys, reported more social support for sport and swimming, and placed more emphasis on the importance of learning to swim well than boys. While many of these relationships between swimming stage and psycho-social factors have been intuitively accepted within the swimming teaching industry, we now have a better understanding of the strength and direction of these relationships.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to study the problem of a low Reynolds number swimmer that is in very close proximity to a wall or solid boundary in a non- Newtonian fluid. We assume that it moves by propagating waves down its length in one direction, creating a thrust and therefore propelling it in the opposite direction. We model the swimmer as an infinite, inextensible waving sheet. We consider two main cases of this swimming sheet problem. In the first case, the type of wave being propagated down the length of the swimmer is specified. We compare the swimming speeds of viscoelastic shear thinning, shear thickening and Newtonian fluids for a fixed propagating wave speed. We then compare the swimming speeds of these same fluids for a fixed rate of work per wavelength. In the latter situation, we find that a shear thinning fluid always yields the fastest swimming speed regardless of the amplitude of the propagating waves. We conclude that a shear thinning fluid is optimal for the swimmer. Analytical results are obtained for various limiting cases. Next, we consider the problem with a Bingham fluid. Yield surfaces and flow profiles are obtained. In the second case, the forcing along the length of the swimmer is specified, but the shape of the swimmer is unknown. First, we solve this problem for a Newtonian fluid. Large amplitude forcing yields a swimmer shape that has a plateau region following by a large spike region. It is found that there exists an optimal forcing that will yield a maximum swimming speed. Next, we solve the problem for moderate forcing amplitudes for viscoelastic shear thickening and shear thinning fluids. For a given forcing, it is found that a shear thinning fluid yields the fastest swimming speed when compared to a shear thickening fluid and a Newtonian fluid. The difference in swimming speeds decreases as the bending stiffness of the swimmer increases.

Full text
Abstract:
Squids are thought to have physiological and locomotive deficiencies that put them at a competitive disadvantage to fishes and exclude them from inshore, highly variable environments that are rich in nektonic fauna. However, brief squid Lolliguncula brevis may be a notable exception. Trawl surveys revealed that L. brevis, particularly juveniles <6 cm dorsal mantle length (DML), are abundant in the Chesapeake Bay, especially when salinity and water temperature are high, and tolerate a wide range of physical conditions relative to other cephalopods. L. brevis is also different from other cephalopods examined previously because its pattern of oxygen consumption as a function of velocity was found to be parabolic and thus similar to aerial flight, and its swimming costs were competitive with ecologically equivalent fishes. Power-speed curves derived from video footage of swimming squid and hydrodynamic force calculations also were parabolic in shape, with high costs both at low and high speeds because of power requirements for lift generation and overcoming drag, respectively. L. brevis employed various behaviors to increase swimming efficiency and compensate for negative buoyancy, such as swimming in various orientations (e.g., arms-first and tail-first), altering angles of attack of the mantle, arms, and funnel, and using fin activity. Fin motion, which could not be characterized exclusively as drag- or lift-based propulsion, was used over 50--95% of the sustained speed range and provided as much as 78% of the vertical and 55% of the horizontal thrust. Small squid (<3.0 cm DML) used different swimming strategies than larger squid possibly to maximize the benefits of toroidal induction, and aerobic efficiency curves indicated that squid 3--5 cm. DML are most efficient. Brief squid also may take advantage of unsteady phenomena, such as attached vortices, for added lift and thrust. Furthermore, an electromyographic study revealed that L. brevis uses different circular muscle layers for various speeds and like fish has muscular "gears", suggesting that there is specialization and efficient use of locomotive muscle in some cephalopods. Therefore, the presumption that squids are inescapably constrained by a second-rate propulsive system and physiological deficiencies is not applicable to L. brevis.

O'Malley, Stephen. "Bi-flagellate swimming dynamics." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2011. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2706/.

Full text
Abstract:
The propulsion of low Reynolds number swimmers has been widely studied, from the swimming sheet models of Taylor (1951), which were analogous to swimming spermatozoa, to more recent studies by Smith (2010) who coupled the boundary element method and method of regularised Stokeslets to look at cilia and flagella driven flow. While the majority of studies have investigated the propulsion and hydrodynamics of spermatozoa and bacteria, very little has been researched on bi-flagellate green algae. Employing an immersed boundary algorithm and a flexible beat pattern Fauci~(1993) constructed a model of a free-swimming algal cell. However, the two-dimensional representation tended to over-estimate the swimming speed of the cell. Jones~\etal~(1994) developed a three-dimensional model for an idealised bi-flagellate to study the gyrotactic behaviour of bottom-heavy swimmers. However, the un-realistic cell geometry and use of resistive force theory only offered order of magnitude accuracy. In this thesis we, investigate the hydrodynamics of swimming bi-flagellates via the application of the method of regularised Stokeslets, and obtain improved estimates for swimming speed and behaviour. Furthermore, we consider three-dimensional models for bi-flagellate cells with realistic cell geometries and flagellar beats. We investigate the behaviour of force- and torque-free swimmers with bottom-heavy spheroidal bodies and two flagella located at the anterior end of the cell body, which beat in a breast stroke motion. The cells exhibit gravitactic and gyrotactic behaviour, which result in cells swimming upwards on average in an ambient fluid and also towards regions of locally down-welling fluid, respectively. In order to compare how important the intricacies of the flagellar beat are to a cell's swimming dynamics we consider various beat patterns taken from experimental observations of the green alga \Rein~and idealised approaches from the literature. We present models for the bi-flagellate swimmers as mobility problems, which can be solved to obtain estimates for the instantaneous translational and angular velocities of the cell. The mobility problem is formulated by coupling the method of regularised Stokeslets with the conditions that there is no-slip on the surface of the body and flagella of the cell and that there exists a balance between external and fluid forces and torques. The method of regularised Stokeslets is an approach to computing Stokes flow, where the solutions of Stokes equations are desingularised. Furthermore, by modelling the cells as self-propelled spheroids we outline an approach to estimate the mean effective behaviour of cells in shear flows. We first investigate bi-flagellate swimming in a quiescent fluid to obtain estimates for the mean swimming speed of cells, and demonstrate that results for the three-dimensional model are consistent with estimates obtained from experimental observations. Moreover, we explore the various mechanisms that cells may use to re-orientate and conclude that gyrotactic and gravitactic re-orientation is due to a combination of shape and mass asymmetry, with each being equally important and complimentary. Next, we compare the flow fields generated by our simulations with some recent experimental observations of the velocity fields generated by free-swimming \rein, highlighting that simulations capture the same characteristics of the flow found in the experimental work. We also present our own experiments for \rein~and \Dunny~detailing the trajectories and instantaneous swimming speeds for free-swimming cells, and flow fields for trapped cells. Furthermore, we construct flagellar beats based upon experimental observations of \dunny~and \textit{D. bioculata}, which have different body shapes and flagellar beats than \chlamy. We then compare the estimates for swimming speed and re-orientation time with \rein, highlighting that, in general, \Dun~achieve greater swimming speeds, but take longer to re-orientate. The behaviour of cells in a shear flow is also investigated showing that for sufficiently large shear, vorticity dominates and cells simply tumble. Moreover, we obtain estimates for the effective cell eccentricity, which, contrary to previous hypotheses, shows that cells with realistic beat patterns swim as self-propelled spheres rather than self-propelled spheroids. We also present a technique for computing the effective eccentricity that reduces computational time and storage costs, as well as being applicable to unordered image data. Finally, we examine what effects interactions with boundaries, other cells, and obstacles have on a free-swimming cell. Here, we find that there are various factors which affect a cell's swimming speed, orientation and trajectory. The most important aspect is the distance between the interacting objects, but initial orientation and the flagella beat are also important. Free-swimming cells in an unbounded fluid typically behave as force-dipoles in the far field, and we find that for cell-to-cell and cell-to-obstacle interactions the far field behaviour is similar. However, swimming in the proximity of a boundary results in the flow field decaying faster. This implies that hydrodynamic interactions close to solid no-slip surfaces will be weaker than in an infinite fluid.

This thesis investigated a bio-inspired swimming chain (BISH), inspired by Weelia cylindrica. After developing a model, it was used to investigate conditions under which helical motion would emerge. The properties of this chain as the number of nodes changes was also investigated, to see if the helical motion or other properties of its motion were emergent behaviors. Other modes of motion were also observed. Optimization of the angle of propulsion of each was performed, and other optimizations attempted, although practical difficulties prevented useful results. A ten node chain was constructed to empirically verify the helical mode of motion.

Abstract:
Phytophthora infestans is a highly destructive plant pathogen and the causal agent of the potato blight disease that devastated Ireland’s potato crops in the 19th century.Today, this disease is still a serious problem, with global crop losses and spending oncontrol measures estimated to exceed £3 billion annually. A key to the success of P. infestans is the dispersal of free-swimming zoospore cells from infected plant tissue into aqueous environments. These cells are specialised infection agents that have evolved an array of tactic responses in order to locate and infect new hosts. An interesting and poorly understood aspect of zoospore behaviour is the phenomenon of auto-aggregation. That is, large numbers of zoospores observed in vitro are seen to form complex, large-scale patterns in the absence of external signals or stimuli. Current competing hypotheses suggest that patterns are formed by one of two distinct, concentrative phenomena: chemotaxis and bioconvection. In this thesis we investigate the mechanics and implications of zoospore auto-aggregation behaviour using an interdisciplinary approach that combines continuum mathematical modelling with laboratory experimental work. We investigate the modelling of chemotactic and bioconvective processes and compare results with our experimental observations. Finally, we present a novel bioconvection-chemotaxis model and thus provide strong evidence to support the hypothesis that auto-aggregation in P. infestans zoospores results from a necessary combination of these processes.

Abstract:
A magnetic object subject to an external rotating magnetic field would be rotated due to the alignment tendency between its internal magnetization and the field. Based on this principle, 12 shapes of swimming microrobots around 1mm long were designed and 3Dprinted using biodegradable materials Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEDGA). Their surface was decorated with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO NPs) to provide magnetic responsivity. An array of 12 permanent magnets generated a rotating uniform magnetic field (~ 100 mT) to impose magnetic torque, which induces a tumbling motion in the microrobot. We developed a dynamic model that captured the behavior of swimming microrobots of different shapes and showed good agreement with experimental results. Among these 12 shapes, we found that microrobots with equal length, width, and depth performed better. The observed translational speed of the Hollow Cube microrobot can exceed 17.84 mm/s (17.84 body lengths/s) under a rotating magnetic field of 5.26 Hz. These microrobots could swim to the targeted sites in a simplified vessel branch. And a finite element model was created to simulate the motion of the swimming microrobot under a flow rate of 0.062 m/s.

Abstract:
The evidence shows that government spending for health in many developing countries benefits the well-to-do more than the poor. However, a combination of favorable political forces and sound public policies can shift the focus of government expenditures toward the poor. Doing this is an essential part of any effective poverty reduction program in developing countries.
